It's All About the VOTE, Baby!

Just two days to change the part of the world we live in--at least if you're a U.S. citizen--otherwise you're biting your nails like my neighborhood librarian who is hoping for change.

Need to know where your voting location is? Go to Vote411.org's Polling Place Finder.

What is Vote411.org?

"Launched by the League of Women Voters Education Fund (LWVEF) in October of 2006, VOTE411.org is a "one-stop-shop" for election related information. It provides nonpartisan information to the public with both general and state-specific information on the following aspects of the election process:

• Absentee ballot information
• Ballot measure information (where applicable)
• Early voting options (where applicable)
• Election dates
• Factual data on candidates in various federal, state and local races
• General information on such topics as how to watch debates with a critical eye
• ID requirements
• Polling place locations
• Registration deadlines
• Voter qualifications
• Voter registration forms
• Voting machines

"An important component of VOTE411.org is the polling place locator, which enables users to type in their address and retrieve the poll location for the voting precinct in which that address is located. The League has found that this is among the most sought after information in the immediate days leading up to, and on, Election Day."

If you're nervous, you can double-check at Google's polling place locator: http://maps.google.com/vote

Talk about making it easy! And remember, do not, do not, DO NOT, wear any hats, buttons, shirts promoting your candidate, or any other election paraphernalia to the polling place or you could be turned away and legally refused the right to vote (as opposed to the illegal forms of voter refusal that are occurring throughout the nation).

Also, if for any reason you cannot vote on Tuesday, November 4th, in some states you can still vote the day before the election via absentee ballot. Check to see what your options are; in some states you must vote IN PERSON at the Office of your COUNTY CLERK.

A little motivation from Lady Kier of Dee-Lite...circa 1991...voting is always relevant, baby!
